Here are Mahesh’s thoughts behind this picture:<\/p>\n

\"Mahesh<\/a>

Mahesh S. Chavadar<\/p><\/div>\n

“These light-emitting bioluminescent bacteria, just like fireflies, produce visible light through a biochemically-mediated reaction. One day, they might supplement India\u2019s burgeoning energy requirements with ‘Microbial Homes’, where such bacteria can be used to produce ‘bio light’ using wastes such as sewage, kitchen waste and garbage. Also these organisms can be used in exit signs, road markers, and signage in the dark. Picture taken at the Microbial Culture Collection, Pune, India.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Congratulations Mahesh for being in the final seven!<\/section>\n
